I've been thinking of getting a compact scope to mount on the carry handle of my A2 style AR-15. I came across this outfit called Combat Military Optics (www.cmoscopes.com) who offer a compact scope called the Marksman. Does anyone here have one of these scopes? If so, please tell me...

I've seen advertisements for American brand ammunition, such as this listing at Sportsmans Guide: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=148322 The prices look pretty good, but I'm not certain of the quality. If anyone reading this has tried this brand, please share your experiences...

Does anyone know what year the KRD 15-round magazines for the Browning HiPower were first available in the U.S.? A friend of mine bought a couple used and was wondering how old they were. They have metal followers and a plastic floorplate labeled "KRD". No other markings on the mags. Thanks...

So I went to the local pistol range last week and rented a Browning HiPower in 9mm. I liked it; even with the mag disconnect and stock trigger, it shot very nicely. Good balance, decent (adjustable) sights, all around great pistol. This got me thinking about buying one, but not knowing a lot...

Just got a new toy: SIG P239, and I'm considering a CCW holster for it. I'd like to hear recommendations from other P239 owners: what type/brand of holster do you use, and what do you like about it? Thanks in advance. -Jack

If anyone reading this owns or owned a Chaparral 1876 rifle, would you please post your opinions? I have read the review on gunblast.com, and it sounds pretty positive. But I would also like to hear from owners, especially their opinions of the rifle's accuracy and the quality of the action &...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a Ruger Old Army revolver. I'm curious about a couple of things: 1) Can grips designed for the Vaquero also fit the Old Army? 2) I may be getting a conversion cylinder to fire .45 Colt rounds in addition to firing black powder. Will the Old Army's bore...

So my wife and I are watching "Broken Trail" on AMC the other night (for those not familiar with it, it's a western in which three men are driving a herd of mustangs to Wyoming, and along the way they rescue a group of Chinese girls who were sold into prostitution). At various points in the...

Hi, On a recent trip to the range, I took my Inland M1 carbine, four 15-round magazines and six 30-round mags to do some plinking and evaluate the reliability of the various mags. The 15-rounders worked fine, but if I put more than 25 rounds into the 30-rounders I got poor reliability (the...

Hello, I've got a question regarding this new production M1 carbine: can any THR members confirm that the parts are USGI compatible? I've read what the manufacturer has to say about it, and I've read a number of THR threads that talk about this model, but I haven't been able to determine...
